Welcome to My Personal Page

Please help me in my efforts to raise money for the Smiling Blue Skies Walk for Canine Cancer.

If you know me, you know that I have a passion for Golden Retrievers. They are such beautiful loving creatures with a joy for life and hearts of gold...... unfortunately these amazing dogs are so very prone to developing cancer.

My first Golden Retriever, Kroosh, died at 8 years of age of Lymphoma in 1998. He was my best friend growing up and introduced me to dog shows and obedience trials. He truly had a heart of gold and was loved by all who knew him. Following the heartbreak of losing Kroosh, Jinx came into my life. He too was a beautiful, loving big red boy. He taught me so much during his life, yet Cancer took him from me all too soon. Jinx died at 9 years of age of Hemangiosarcoma (tumor of the spleen). Hemangiosarcoma is the silent killer, by the time the dog shows symptoms ... it is too late. OVC Pet Trust Fund is working on a simple blood test for early detection so that treatment may begin before it has spread.

100% of the money raised goes to the OVC Pet Trust-Animal Cancer Fund. Please visit www.smilingblueskies.com or www.pettrust.ca/cancer to learn more about the studies and research that is being conducted in the hopes to make life better for those affected and to find a cure.

Cedar (age 13), Puzzle (age 8), Scrabble (age 4) and I will be walking on Sunday April 30, 2017 in the Smiling Blue Skies Walk for Cancer for those that have lost their battle and for those who should never have to battle cancer.

Last year several of my friends lost their beloved dog to Cancer. This year I will be walking not only for Kroosh and Jinx, but also for "Fisher" Doucette, "Sophie" Sipus, "Beacon" Stanley, "Everett" Williams, "Riley" Beber, "Tucker" Kingsbury, Crash and Gamble Whistlcraft & Rocket Reid
